I had my first ultrasound today at 9 weeks. It's was a mono mono twin pregnancy and unfortunately we lost them both. Probably one a week and 1/2 ago the other probably 2. I am beyond devastated and am scheduled for a d&c on Sunday because of the holiday. Not feeling very thankful this year. Not how I envisioned today going.

I'm so sorry for your loss. There's nothing I can say to make it better, but in time it should get a little easier to accept. I don't think we ever "get over" loss, but instead we have to figure out how continue our life around it/with it as part of us. I truly wish I could bring your babies back, no one should have to go through this.

Finding a counselor (who specializes in child loss) and a support group immediately after helped me tremendously, as did reading Pema Chodron's writings.

I m so sorry for your loss. I can imagine the pain you feel. I was also pregnant with twins and was identified as mono-mono twins in 6w ultrasound and saw heartbeats too but then found no heartbeat in the 8w scan and were Mo/Di twins instead.... feeling so empty and lonely. Just want to get my babies back somehow. hugs, love and prayers for you. I don't think any of us will ever be able to stop thinking about our angels.

It’s been a year since we lost our twin baby girls. I’ve replayed our story in my head a thousand times, but a week ago something clicked & I wanted to share our story publicly. Something that helped me during our grieving process was connecting with other women who had gone through a similar situation. It’s my hope that my words will help comfort someone else who’s struggling right now. You are not alone & you will get through this. ??

Your story was beautiful, I? read every word. My third pregnancy resulted in loss of a much wanted baby boy at 19 weeks, worst year of my life. I? now have 15 month old rainbow twins. I checked out your IG, congrats on pregnancy, prayers for a beautiful delivery.
